I started by saying that he is totally out or order to say that doctors should not smoke. That is what he said.

Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, I beg to reply. (a) The Kenya Medical Training College does not take over one year before releasing results of graduands. The academic year schedule is that final qualifying examinations are conducted between June and July each year. Results are released to the candidates by the end of September and the graduation ceremony is held in late November or early December of each year. Kenya Medical Training College is not aware of any results withheld over one year. (b) Kenya Medical Training College adheres to the planned academic schedule which ensures that results are released ...

Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, with all due respect, I wish the hon. Member could have given me the names of those students rather than ask a sweeping question like: "Why does it take over one year to release results of graduands of the KMTC?" That is a very sweeping question. It implies that all the results have not been released. I wish he had asked this Question with some specific candidates in mind because we would have given him an answer. Again, with due respect, I wish we could avoid trivialising the issue of Mungiki . Mungiki is a ...

On a point of order, Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir. Sorry, I hate to interrupt Prof. Wangari Maathai. However, as she speaks, what disturbs me is that, is it in order for her to advocate that a speech read in Nyeri be read in Kikuyu Language and that in Kapsabet be read in Nandi Language? Is she saying we should post DOs and DCs who come from those areas?

Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, I beg to reply. (a) I am aware that Ngonga, Siruti, Oubo Bita and Kitere health facilities in Rongo Constituency have been inspected and found ready for gazettement. At the moment my Ministry is compiling the list of all those facilities which have been inspected and found ready for gazettement. The list and the legal notice will be forwarded to the Attorney-General's Chambers for professional scrutiny before gazettement is done. (b) My Ministry will deploy staff and send medicine to these facilities as soon as the gazettment process has been finalised.

Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, it is not something that is automatic because, by the time we compile it, we must be sure that the facilities have been completed to the best health standards. But, as soon as we get all the information throughout the country, we will gazette these facilities.

Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, the Ministry of Health was given money in this year's Budget. But the Budget did not specify what this money will be used for. I would like to June 20, 2007 PARLIAMENTARY DEBATES 1901 assure the House that part of the money that the Ministry of Health was given will be used to recruit more staff.

Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, I cannot give a specific date now, but let me add one thing that was not captured in the HANSARD. As a Ministry, we have gone even further and asked all the District Medical Officers of Health to rationalise staff within their districts. If they can get extra staff to go to some of the facilities that are already completed, but not gazetted, we have assured them that we shall send medicine and equipment to those facilities, and get them operationalized even as we wait for them to be gazetted. So, this is the message that ...

Thank you Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, for giving me this opportunity to contribute on the Budget Speech. I would like to start off by congratulating the Minister for an excellent Budget speech. It was delivered in a very eloquent way, spiced occasionally, with humour. One thing that really caught me are the words of the young man who was quoted in the speech. That is Master Trevor Langat. Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, let me repeat just a sentence of what he said. "I think it is time for me to take action and it is also time for ...

Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, I would like to thank Mr. Nyachae for giving me this chance to second this very important Bill. Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, I do not think there is a day that goes-by in this Parliament, without an hon. Member talking about the state of roads in his or her area. As we travel, we see the once very good roads; specifically from Naivasha to Eldoret and beyond, are now a nightmare to use. In most constituencies, our rural roads are in what many hon. Members, describe as deplorable condition. Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, ...
